Old Enough to Forget

Wings. Not Paul McCartney and Wings. Just Wings. Of course the reality is Wings was Paul's band. End of discussion. Wings at the Speed of Sound , though, is a band effort. To me, this was their best line-up. The core trio of Paul, Linda, and Denny were augmented by Jimmy McCulloch, on stringed things, and Joe English on drums. While the majority of the songs were credited to Paul and Linda, each member got a turn taking lead vocals, which I suspect was Paul's way of emphasizing Wings was a band. As a kid, it was the radio hits I knew, and on occasion a deeper track that would get some play. This is unfortunately the album known for "Silly Love Songs," a song so deeply and truly shitty I want to drag the needle across the record. I don't, though. I persevere and who knows, it's pushing fifty years now, my long held hatred should be softening by now. Why not? I bought a Village People album ... and enjoyed it. I suppose I should just put the record on. I won...
